WELCOME!
I am so excited to have you join me this Summer for a fun filled, Global & Web2.0 experience! There are some people who have never heard of any of the tools we will be working with and then there are the technologically savvy students who know more than I do about some things having to do with the new Web 2.0 world! That is great. We can all learn something new together. I am here to teach you, but to also learn from you. Please read below (scroll down) to see how the class is organized, what to do when you need help and my contact information.
